Julien ÉLIE <jul...@trigofacile.com> added the comment: Éric: there is no notion of encoding in a few NNTP commands. Regarding AUTHINFO, the real string that I should have written is:
AUTHINFO USER \xC9ric 7-bit bytes are considered to be encoded in ASCII. 8-bit bytes are just 8-bit bytes. No encoding. The news client and the news server have to agree on the setting. Authentification occurs between them. I can imagine the news client in ISO-8859-1 and the news server in ISO-8859-15, and a password with a « € » sign in. Then the password will not be the "same" (when entered on the keyboard), but will match in bytes! I hope my explanation was clear enough now. No encoding, just byte strings here! ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10284> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
